Reduce landscaping service costs, reduce water consumption, reduce other utility bills, etc…

my guess is just water creeping in over the sill plate for both situations...but alas; I am not a structural engineer :(Happy to talk shop with you about the KC metro REI arena.

Some of the cleanest lake water in the country. 

I mean its easy to get a building permit in small towns in texas , but never encountered this before owning the land.I own several lots in this particular town but they are not issuing any new water meters until their new water well goes online which wont be until January.

The lease agreement also states that they are responsible for any landscaping damage due to lack of watering or neglect.

We allowed the place to do needed repairs-water line running under state route 31 was a big project.

Is there a chance the water was on and all the pipes froze and then flooded the place?

For the kitchen and bathrooms, would I need to do EVP for potential water issues? 

One mistake and you can be completely under water.

How much water is there?
